Current Event #5

Colon Powell announced on Meet the Press this week that he endorses Barack Obama in this presidental race. Powell is a former gerneral in our military and a republican. An endorsement from such a well known and respected member of the Republican Party will undoubtedly boost support for Obama. It will be interesting to see how this will be reflected in polls in the coming weeks. I agree with Powell when he says Obama is handling the economic crisis better than McCain and that Obama will be a better leader for this nation.
